The Spin | Going for gold? Why China’s female cricketers may benefit from Olympic aim
The Cricket Research Network was told how the sport is perceived in China and why the women’s side is seen as the national team
The Cambridge wind had a February chill, and the trees at Fenner’s were still without any spring decoration, but the old bleachers to the side and the pavilion, largely unchanged since the 1980s, were reminders of a new season just a turn of the calendar away.
Fenner’s cricket ground sits next door to Hughes Hall, where the Cricket Research Network held their third annual conference last week. The organisation, headed by Raf Nicholson, sometimes of this parish, is a place for cricket academics to exchange ideas, and the conference a chance for rest of us to put an ear to the door of data and detail.

Australian F1 fans frustrated by Kayo Sports’ new broadcast deal
Formula 1 has extended its broadcasting agreement with Kayo Sports, and the decision isn’t going down well with Australian fans.
Foxtel first secured the F1 rights back in 2015, which brought an end to free-to-air coverage. The company later launched its streaming service, Kayo Sports, in 2018.
The initial deal was renewed in 2022 through to the end of 2026. Now, just before this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix, both sides have announced that the partnership will be continuing into 2027 and beyond.
Kayo Sports deal extension disappoints Australian F1 fans
The official F1 Media account announced the news on X, but Australian fans didn’t hold back in the comments.
One person said: “Nooooooooo. We wanted Apple TV.”
Apple recently picked up the rights to show F1 in the United States, using F1TV coverage.
Others complained about the price, with one calling Kayo ‘prohibitively expensive’ and another saying the ‘exorbitant’ packages made it ‘impossible’ for younger fans to start watching the sport.
A basic Kayo plan is $29.99 a month, while premium is $45.99. Another person predicted: “Another price hike coming soon.”
Others chimed in with comments like ‘worst possible decision, should go to Apple TV or Stan’ and ‘well that’s ruined my day’. It’s worth noting that the Australian GP will continue to be shown for free by Network 10.
Fans’ claims of Sky Sports bias led Kayo Sports to add F1TV option
Kayo Sports added an F1TV commentary option for the last four races of the 2025 season. Up until then, they had only carried the Sky Sports UK feed, but the change gave viewers a new audio choice for Sunday’s coverage.
The move came after some fans accused David Croft and Martin Brundle, the main Sky commentary duo, of showing bias toward British driver Lando Norris over teammate and title rival Oscar Piastri.
Croft has maintained ties with Mark Webber, suggesting there was no real issue from Piastri’s side.
Brundle has been open about his view that Piastri needs to get better on low-grip circuits if he wants to win a title, calling his 2025 campaign “partly painful, partly brilliant.”
